Trouble with the draft in Fayette county. Pa.

--The drafted militia in Saltlick and Bull skin townships, Fayette county, talk of resissing the enforcement of the law, because of an alleged unfaltnes in not giving the townships credit for the number of men already furnished for the war. It is said that they have constructed a log fort and are determined to resist. Such conduct is very foolish. The Government will undoubtedly listen to any protest against the action of the committee that is faily founded; but with a million of men in arms to overthrow rebellion in a number of it will searesly permit a couple of townships to threaten resistance, by violence, to its authority. Philladelphia Lodger.
